Wrapping means you can go back at any time, should you change your mind
The wheels were changed to anthracite grey gloss afterwards too.

Re: Tyre valve dust caps
They really need vaseline or grease on them or they will get stuck. My daughter had some on her Mazda and one was completely stuck. Even after slicing it in half vertically using a junior hacksaw blade, one half remained welded to the threads and needed to be prized off. Horrible things! Galvanitic ...

Re: 2016 Battery Indicator
Do ensure the car processes are shut down fully before changing the battery. There's more about this in other threads in here. How do you do that? Surely the car wakes up to a certain extent as soon as you unlock it to open the boot. It's just waiting for the info screen to go into sleep mode, same...

Re: 2016 Battery Indicator
BMS reconfigures itself anyway after a bit. Theres loads on this on XE forums, as the early cars had an 80ah battery which has since been superceded with a 95ah unit. Mine reconfigured itself 2 miles up the road (the giveaway is that the stop/start gets enabled, apparently).

Re: 2016 Battery Indicator
All said as above I’d replace now at 8 years whilst you have time to shop around and get a deal, rather than a panic buy when one of the cells fails and it won’t even start. I've had batteries of similar age just die, as C10jeeper mentioned. One battery started the car without a problem and got the...

Re: Aftermarket Brake Pads
Porterfield (US) and Pagid (Germany) get used quite a bit.I think.
I've had Pagid on a number of cars and found indies quite often had used them, when I came to change the pads myself later on.

Re: Car key issue
The key fobs are always live, so even a spare key that is never used will discharge the battery. It's always recommended to replace the batteries in both fobs at the same time for this reason 18 months is about right. Mine wouldn't lock using the button recently (but would if you started the engine ...

Re: Anyone seen this issue before?
Usually it's due having difficulty getting a signal or the Telematics battery pack doesn't have enough charge.
There's a NiCad battery pack behind the panel between the seats. It stops charging after a number of cycles like any other battery. Probably needs replacing
